Beautiful flowers and girl!

Dear Father and Mother,

Dear Father and Mendy, Mother and Ray,

Please forgive me for not keeping this blog up-to-date. I promise to do better ;)

Please note that there are not a lot of pictures from Briar's birthday party. Apparently the settings on my camera need to be corrected so I can take more than just 10 pictures! I will fix the problem so I can keep the blog updated.

I love all you people very much!

Briar's First Birthday March, 2010

Briar's birthday presents.

Dad, just so you know, I did some reading about cakes and found out that the particular cake mix we used does not release well out of cake pans. I think we used Duncan Hines. Needless to say, it wasn't your prep job that 'ruined' the cake. A multitude of sins can be corrected with a little bit of icing =) And I think Todd should not pursue cake decorating as a hobby.

Todd Barker, my future brother-in-law, holding Lindsey. Lindsey enjoyed being the 'big girl helper' at Briar's party. She took her responsibility of giving Briar his presents very seriously.

Briar and his daddy looking at the fire. This is one of my favorite pictures!

Ashley and Lindsey May, 2010

Ashley and her "friend" Casey. Casey helped Paul put the trampoline (or as Lindsey says, Jumpoline) together.

Lindsey being silly for the camera.

Every night Lindsey likes to play "Squidward and Swiper." She got the sqidward doll in a McDonald's happy meal. I always have to be squidward and Lindsey gets to be swiper.

For My Dad!

Hi Dad! I can't find the cord to download pictures from my camera. When I find it, I'll update the pictures on the blog. It was nice being able to "talk" to you tonight. I love you and don't die.

I would hate buttoning these shoes!

A poem I found on RaptureReady.com

I read of the wonders of Heaven above,In the place He's preparing for me.No sickness or sorrow can enter that land,And I wanted its beauty to see.
Yet I needed Christ's help just to cope with each taskThat life with its cares sent my way.Through triumphs and failures that filled up my years,My Heaven seemed ages away.
But now that I'm living my winter of life,I find not a day will go byWithout precious thoughts of my Heavenly home,And my meeting with Christ in the sky.
I'll see all my loved ones who've gone on before,And I'll sing with the Heavenly throng.I'll have a new body with no aches or pains,And I'll worship my Lord all day long.
Each day brings me closer to life's curtain call,When the face of my Lord I will see.I'll no longer be homesick, for I will be home,And with Jesus forever I'll be.

Ashley's teeth

Some much needed pictures will be posted on the blog soon. I will be traveling next weekend to see my dad and his family, so hopefully I'll be able to take lots of pictures.

Ashley MIGHT get her braces off next month! Very exciting! I definitely post pictures of her new "look" if she does get them off.
